A Landmark Residential Opportunity in Central Lewes
North Corner is a substantial early Victorian detached property occupying a prominent and highly central position on Prince Edwards Road, Lewes. Properties of this scale, with residential consent, rarely come to market within the heart of this historic and tightly held town.
Originally known as "The Limes" and built in 1870 for the prominent iron founder and engineer John Every, the building now benefits from granted planning permission for residential use, opening the door to an exciting and valuable repositioning of a significant local landmark.
Extending to approximately 5,810 sq ft, the property offers exceptional volume and flexibility. The generous proportions and architectural presence provide a strong foundation for a high-quality residential scheme, whether restored as a substantial single dwelling or thoughtfully reconfigured to optimise space and value, subject to consent.
The scale of the building allows for a wide range of layouts, from impressive reception rooms and expansive living spaces to multiple bedrooms and principal suites, while retaining the character and presence expected of a Victorian property of this stature.
Lewes remains one of East Sussex's most sought-after market towns, prized for its historic character, strong sense of community, independent shops, cultural offering and direct rail connections to London. Demand for well-located, character properties in the town continues to outstrip supply, particularly for homes of meaningful size within walking distance of the centre.
With its combination of location, scale, planning consent and architectural significance, North Corner represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking to add value in one of the South East's most distinctive town settings.
